Our first 3-day silent retreat of 2027 is here!
Join us in the mountains just outside Taipei for three days of silence, stillness, and reconnection.
Through guided meditation, you'll learn to observe your thoughts and emotions without judgment, explore breathing techniques to calm your nervous system, and unwind with gentle evening practices for deeper, more restful sleep.
Spend your mornings in the forest with mindful walking, reconnecting with nature one step at a time. You'll also explore creativity through a silent, nature-inspired mandala workshop, discovering new ways to express yourself without words.
Three days to slow down, listen inward, and reconnect with yourself, carrying a little more calm and clarity into everyday life.

Space
Located in a quiet town at the foot of the mountains, this wooden house opens onto a grassy lawn surrounded by trees - and sometimes, you might even spot a giant tortoise slowly wandering across it!
The house was built by the owner and close friends, from collecting the wood to hand-finishing every detail. Each season brings its own atmosphere: fresh greens in spring, the sound of cicadas in summer, cool autumn air, and calm winter days.
Inside, warm wood furniture, tatami mats, and soft lighting make the space cozy and comfortable. You can wake up to the morning sun, watch the evening mist roll in, or simply sit quietly and listen to nature.
It’s a place to slow down and enjoy life’s simple things — a cup of tea, fresh air, and a peaceful afternoon.
Two types of accommodation is provided:
Shared Room
Mixed Gender Shared Room/ Female Shared Room
*Single Bed Mattress will be provided.
*Why is the accommodation shared? The purpose behind shared accommodation is to create closer bonds between the participants.
Private Room

Nourish
At Soul Barn’s community table, our private chefs will prepare warm, heartfelt plant-based meals just for you.
They bring a quiet passion for seasonal ingredients sourced from across Taiwan and cook it simply, letting its natural flavors shine.
With over a decade of culinary experience, Roy as the former head chef at several plant-based restaurants and a winner of multiple international culinary awards, he has spent years exploring the unique nature of each ingredient — and discovering the gentlest way to bring out its true flavor.
Nicki likes to keep things simple. Honest ingredients, no fancy garnish, and food that feels warm and comforting, the kind of meal that sits well with both body and mind. Her kitchen is always full of new experiments, and over time they’ve shaped a style that’s distinctly her own.
Every ingredient gets the same careful touch, and Nicki loves finding new ways to bring out something different in it. Her cooking proves that healthy and delicious can go together, and that plant-based meals can be varied and truly satisfying.
